[@LushSaltyAquariums]

cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I'm a subscriber to yours. I adore your channel and find the content both useful and entertaining. Thank you for showing us these lovely Mexican Swordtails.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Hi Steffan. Thanks for your feedback. I just checked your channel, and really like your content as well. You've got a new subscriber. Cheers, Michael

[@FreshReef]

One of the most beautiful swordtails. Not too colorful but the dorsal fin and pattern of the males are amazing...naturally, wild looking fish. Thanks for the video. Robert

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Couldn't agree more, Robert. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@shanrrosh]

I just love this! The trap is a very good idea :D Keep the videos coming :D

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Thanks! Will do! Cheers, Michael :0)

[@robertfaber6796]

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

And thanks for your feedback, Robert. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@robertfaber6796]

I usually view your videos 2 or 3 times, sometimes more. The video quality is very good and I really enjoy your narration.

[@jay-remedy-plz]

The bottle trap should work well on snails too. I hadn’t thought to try catching fry.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Yeah. Work perfect for snails as well. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@MorningDriftwood]

Hopefully, they become more common in the future.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

They should... and they are prolific breeders. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@UncommonlyCommonSense]

Subbed! I just ordered two pair (Aquarium Glaser source) as that was what was available. Anyway, thank you for the beautiful video! It has me very excited to get them!

[@mimiaqua423]

My favorite wild swordtails. I’m so happy mine are breeding

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Hi. They are beautiful. Gongrats on your breeding succes. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@AguabonitaAquatics]

Nice, Nezzy swords are very beautiful fish. I have used the plastic bottle traps for years to primarily trap out of my pond. Recently, I have noticed they have not been as effective. I think they have just become calcified and algae covered and perhaps look like a trap to the fish. Your fresh, clear bottle traps inspired me to put two and two together. Lol, I think I just need to make new ones!!!

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

😀Yes, the traps get less effective if they become visible, so you need to make a new trap. I like your content, and subbed. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@AguabonitaAquatics]

​@@MichaelJensensAquarium Thanks Michael. Thanks for subbing too, I haven't posted for a while as I have been really busy with work/family/fish club, but I have taken a lot of video, just need some time to put together a few videos!

[@TakeliMMagdalen]

Always Love your videos..your tanks are so Beautiful, and I so enjoy the way you show each type of fish in a very natural way. Please can you do a how to on the fish trap?

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Thank you very much! A how to film on the fish trap is in the pipeline ;) Cheers, Michael :0)

[@TakeliMMagdalen]

@@MichaelJensensAquarium Wonderful :)

[@allonaquatics]

Amazing. I have the same thing going on with my neon dwarf rainbow fish.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Cool. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@Finkeldinken]

I only have a young pair, but the female has dropped her first few babies recently. I bought them on a whim, but I am very much in love with them - I think they are my favourite Xiphophorus, and that is actually saying something! Thank you for sharing this beauty. Question: when I search this species, a lot of the pictures show them with some black markings as well as the stripes. Do you know if that is just a variant (mine look like yours) or can they be mistaken for another small X. species?

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Also for sure my favourite Xiphophorus at the moment. I have seen those other variations of this fish. I guess there must be slight difference i appearance in strains from different isolated localities. See the same in a lot of killifish, where the same species varies considerably in appearance from one location to another. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@Finkeldinken]

@@MichaelJensensAquarium Thanks, Michael, it's what I thought, but honestly I am not as strong in fish species as I used to be, and I am terribly out of date, so I appreciate having true hobby veterans such as you to ask. Appreciated!

[@nancylee189]

Love these little guys. Thank you for the info! Great job.😊

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

@@nancylee189 Thank you for your feedback. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@treysimmons2179]

Anyone have any info on where to get some of these in USA?

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Trey, you might have luck concacting a local livebearer society. Cheers, Michael 🙂

[@holapoly]

Hey Michael! Love your videos and love the quality. I have been following for a very good while and I have been meaning to ask you: What soil do you use for your plants or do you just use gravel? Do you feed them root tabs.

[@MichaelJensensAquarium]

Hi. Thanks for your feedback and support. I don't use dirt underlay or fancy soil, just good old faschion fish poo and detritus. I use a few root tabs for the amazon swords and a few other plants and use liquid fertilizer. But mostly i try to balance the amount of plants versus fish. Cheers, Michael :0)
